LANSING - Days before the matter is expected to be argued in court, the Michigan Attorney General's Office made its case why Larry Nassar should not receive a new sentence on sexual assault charges in Ingham County.

"Nassar is not entitled to resentencing," the AG's Office wrote in a filing on Thursday, its response to July motion from Nassar's attorneys. "The judge considered the factors she was required to, use (sic) harsh language as she was entitled to, and imposed a sentence that he agreed to."

In their motion seeking a new sentencing, Nassar's court-appointed appellate attorneys argued he was entitled for a new sentence on three grounds: Judge Rosemarie Aquilina was biased against him, which violated his due process rights; she considered impermissible factors in reaching the sentence; and Nassar's state sentences should be served at the same time as his federal sentences.

Additionally, Nassar's attorneys filed a motion seeking a new sentence in the Eaton County, where he also faced sexual assault charges. A hearing has been set for Sept. 6 in Judge Janice Cunningham's courtroom, where Nassar was sentenced to 40 to 125 years in prison on three sexual assault charges.

"The magnitude of the sentencing hearing, and the sometimes caustic language the judge employed, was a direct result of Nassar's admitted misdeeds," the AG's Office wrote in its response on Thursday. "This Court should deny Nassar's motion for resentencing."
